Very interesting grave stones, especially the third one of Acrabanis. In the description is said that the sculpture is unique because the practice target is depicted on the right side of the stone. Furthermore, I think the style of illustrating the deceased as a half bust and in a smaller full figure representation, the smaller figure just riding before the bust, is unique too.<br>
<br>
I only knew of grave stones where the deceased is depicted in two different frameworks, e. g. in one frame as winning rider, full figure or bust, in another frame lying at his dead meal.<br>
<br>
Also - is my impression right, that Acrabanis has a small round shield at his (left?) arm?<br>
